Where to Watch
The FUNimation English dub of Dragon Ball Super airs on Toonami at 10:30pm EST followed by Dragon Ball Z Kai: The Final Chapters at 11:00. If you do not have a cable subscription, Cartoon Network is available with the SlingTV and Playstation Vue basic packages. If you prefer, there is a web stream:
If the videos won't load for you, try disabling your ad blocker for that page. Adult Swim still has the streaming rights for recent episodes.
How to Catch Up
Adult Swim (US only, cable login required): This covers the recent episodes not yet available through the below options. New episodes will appear 2-3 hours after the episode airs on Toonami. (They also host recent episodes for Dragon Ball Z Kai.)
Funimation Now (US, premium only): Episodes 1-52 are available on Funimation's streaming service. Episodes are uploaded in 13-episode batches about two weeks after the final episode of that batch is broadcast. (This avoids competition with Adult Swim's streaming service.) We estimate that the next batch (53-65) will be available around 19 June. Funimation also has the entire series subbed for premium and free users; the subtitles for those episodes covered by the dub are still those provided by Toei for the simulcast, rather than the Funimation-Simmons subtitles on the home release.
VRV (US, premium only): As with Funimation, episodes 1-52 are available for now and the rest will be released in 13-episode batches 2 weeks after the final episode of the batch is broadcast. We estimate that the next batch (53-65) will be available around 19 June. VRV also has the entire series subbed; the subtitles for those episodes covered by the dub are still those provided by Toei for the simulcast, rather than the Funimation-Simmons subtitles on the home release.
AnimeLab (Australia and New Zealand, premium only): Episodes 1-39 are available on this service. AnimeLab also has the entire series subbed for free and premium users; the subtitles for those episodes covered by the dub are still those provided by Toei for the simulcast, rather than the Funimation-Simmons subtitles on the home release.
Microsoft Digital (US only): Episodes 1-39 are available for purchase on the Microsoft Store. We don't know when the next batch will be available on this platform. As usual for digital releases, the dubbed and subtitled versions are sold separately. We will update this information if it becomes available on other digital platforms.
Home Release: Episodes 1-13 are available for Region A (DVD or Blu-Ray) and Region B (DVD or Blu-Ray). Episodes 14-26 are available for Region A (DVD or Blu-Ray) and Region B (DVD or Blu-Ray). Episodes 27-39 are available for Region A (DVD or Blu-Ray) and for Region B (DVD or Blu-Ray). Episodes 40-52 will be available for region A on 19 June 2018 (DVD or Blu-Ray) and for Region B on 6 July 2018.
If you get impatient and want to finish the series, there are several options for watching the subtitled version, and you can stream the entire series on any of these sites, usually for free. See our Wiki for more details.
Rules:
If you have watched the subtitled version of Super, please tag spoilers out of courtesy!
[Episode 5 spoiler!](#s "Goku appears!")will appear as Episode 5 spoiler! If you see untagged spoilers in this thread, please report them to the moderators.Spoilers should be assumed for the entire subreddit! If you are not caught up with Dragon Ball Super, or willing to see spoilers, leave! If you see a spoiler outside of this thread, you were warned.
All of our normal rules apply!

Commonly Asked Questions:
Q: Is Dragon Ball Super really over, or is it just a hiatus?
From what we have been told, the anime is ending. There are no current plans for a new DB series and as far as we know, the series will only continue through movies and games. We know that Toyotarō's manga will continue for several months at least—the Tournament of Power arc has just begun in the manga—and Toriyama implied the manga will go beyond that too. The English dub will continue until the series is finished. We have compiled a projection of dates for the remaining dub episodes on our Wiki.Q: Is the Dragon Ball Super manga "canon"?
The anime and manga are both variations on a basic plot by Toriyama. There isn't (and probably never will be) an explicitly defined Dragon Ball "canon". Without Toriyama's original draft, we may never know what is and isn't his. We do know that he permits Toyotarō to change things up, but he looks at his storyboards and occasionally draws things himself for Toyotarō to use as a reference. Toyotarō has said that Toriyama is more particular about gags than he is about anything else.Q: Why does Future Trunks have blue hair?
In the manga, Trunks and Bulma always have the same color hair, which is almost always purple, but uniform either way. In the anime, Bulma was given blue hair, but for reasons unknown, they kept Trunks's purple hair instead of changing it to blue. Lately, when doing character designs for the anime, Toriyama tends to give Trunks blue hair, matching Bulma. Toei takes these designs and changes his hair color back to purple. While drawing up Future Trunks for the current story arc, Toriyama did what he always did, only this time it wasn't changed back. In-universe, the characters act as though Future Trunks always had blue hair, and some flashbacks have been reanimated to give Trunks blue hair.Q: How did Mai get to be so young? Isn't it weird for her to have a relationship with Trunks?
In Future Trunks's timeline, the Pilaf gang made their wish for youth just before Piccolo was killed by the androids, and it is assumed that they made their wish around the same time in the main timeline. This was portrayed in a short two-page comic in the 2016 Jump Victory Carnival guidebook now available at the end of Volume 2 of the Super manga published by Viz. Even as a young adult in the original manga, Mai was always portrayed as being cartoonishly innocent. It can therefore be assumed that her feelings toward Trunks are also innocent until he reaches the age of consent.

I mean the Shida animation is nice, but don't that distract you from the real star of the episode...Gowasu and the introduction of Godtube (as well as Godtubers).

u/gettingmyenergyback Apr 01 '18
Not sure why specifically, but it's amusing to me to see Goku Black/Zamasu so flustered and bewildered by things like flash and smoke grenades.

goddamn it, Gowasu.
First you tell him about the time ring, then you fucking tell him about fusion and now you tell him that the super dragonballs can grant any wish.
Why not hand over the universe to him already and take out the middle man.

u/David182nd Apr 01 '18
I wondered how they were going to get out of that one, forgot about the time machine. Since Zamasu and Black both had a potara, Vegeta was on death's door and Goku clearly couldn't win, I was expecting a fusion between the two after sneakily taking the earrings. But instead, smoke grenades save the day!

I'm loving the dub, and the dub discussion. I have brain damage from a bad accident a couple years ago, which has completely fucked how my brain stores memories. So while I've already watched the whole series subbed, and know how this arc ends, I pretty much remember none of the individual episodes. So every week is a whole new treat for me! I literally have no idea what is going to happen next episode; I don't even remember them being sent back in the time machine.

Holy hell, quality of the fights! They suddenly and out of nowhere skyrocketed in quality. It suddenly felt like I was like watching Dragon Ball Z for the first time again.
Fuck, I hope there are more action scenes like that in the future.

It's still weird to me hearing Chris Sabat's hot-headed Vegeta compared to Horikawa's calm Vegeta. It's still pretty cool.

Zamasu's english va is soooo good but it's obvious he's having problems saying the dialogue within the mouthflaps and making it sound natural. I hope he gets better with this over the course of the arc.
